Wreaths Across America Sets Annual Golf Fundraiser BY LOGAN MOYER

ew Octorara Intermediate School (OIS) principal Jonathan Blake described himself as a “fourth-grade teacher at heart.” Originally a fourth-grade teacher within WallingfordSwarthmore School District, Blake was most recently assistant principal of Penn London Elementary School within the Avon Grove School District. Sticking in Chester County, the upcoming school year will be Blake’s first with Octorara. Having recently started his position, he said he is already amazed with how tight the local community is. “Going through the interview process, getting to meet more of the admin team, the teachers, the stakeholders, I just could really see myself wanting to be here,” he said. “I immediately just really felt at ease and at home.” Blake has already reached out to around 75 OIS families via phone call. “There’s like this organic, deep passion in terms of caregivers, like their children and students, but then also the partnerships of the school district - in my case See Principal pg 2 Blake and his wife, Shelby, have two children.

Atglen Wins Second “Battle of the Boroughs” Food Drive

OCC

VOL XXXVI • NO 26

BY LOGAN MOYER

Atglen knocked the Battle of the Boroughs food drive out of the park. In the second year of the friendly food drive competition between the three boroughs of Atglen, Parkesburg and Christiana, Atglen came out on top. However, the real winner was the Octorara Area Food Cupboard (OAFC), for which a grand total of 7,067 pounds of food was collected throughout the event.

Atglen’s final tally of 2,747 pounds was enough to secure the victory. The drive started on June 24 and ran through Aug. 4, which doubled as National Night Out. Residents of each borough dropped off food at designated locations, and then each borough took food into the OAFC and had it weighed every week. Each borough has one individual designated as its battle leader. April Brade fills that role for Parkesburg, while Jennifer Grossman reprises her The trophy will be presented to Atglen at its next

The Pequea Valley chapter of Wreaths Across America (WAA) will hold its sixth annual golf classic at Tanglewood Manor Golf Club on Friday, Oct. 9, with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit the nonprofit organization, which is responsible for placing more than 3,100 wreaths at local veterans’ graves on Wreaths Across America Day, held this year on Saturday, Dec. 19. The Pequea Valley chapter handles 31 cemeteries within the Pequea Valley, Octorara and Lampeter-Strasburg school districts. There is a flat registration fee for every golfer, which includes a round of golf, the use of a cart, snacks and lunch. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. Tanglewood Manor Golf Club is located at 653 Scotland Road, Quarryville. The group from Diversified Roofing in Parkesburg won the event last year. “They have a lovely course,” said Paula Diem, the chapter’s coordinator. “It’s beautiful in the fall because the trees are turning and so forth. There’s a lot of veterans that golf down there, so they’re very willing to accommodate our golfing.” Last year, 104 golfers participated in the event. This year, registration will be limited to 132 golfers. Registration must be completed by Tuesday, Sept. 15; contact Diem at 717-587-1315 See Golf pg 2

Golf from pg 1 or paula@beilerinsurance.com. The lunch varies by year and is not yet finalized, but in the past it has ranged from pork barbecue to mac and cheese to meatball sandwiches. Another highlight of the event is its giveaway drawing baskets. Diem said there are typically around 30 baskets, which include golf equipment, balls, clubs and gift cards that have been donated by the local community and businesses. Along with door prizes, there will also be rewards for the individual who hits the longest drive, as well as for who gets closest to the pin. The chapter is still searching for sponsors for the event. Those interested should contact Diem at the aforementioned number or email. At the moment, the event’s “gold star” sponsors are Abdol and Cathy Moabery, Terry and Diane Styer, Restoration Relief, Rockyridge Enterprise,

the intermediate school - and (wanting) to make sure that their kids get the absolute best educational experience.” Blake said that he views the school as one big classroom, with both students and staff classified as active learners. His philosophy is grounded in three pillars: people, purpose and progress. He said that education and school is one of the few true shared experiences among all humans. He said that the intermediate level is the “sweet spot” of learning. “We really just understand and value education as more than the curriculum,” he said. “The standards that we have to get across, that’s absolutely See Principal pg 4

role for Atglen’s Parks and Recreation Committee. Christiana’s leadership has changed hands this year, going from the Parks and Recreation Committee to the borough itself, with administrative assistant Jennifer Semple taking over as battle leader. This year’s total of 7,067 pounds is a great increase from last year’s figure of 5,654. “I was shocked at how well the food drive went based on the amount of donations we received,” Grossman said. “Everybody was very generous with giving this year, and it showed.” This year, Christiana and Parkesburg finished with 2,439 and 1,881 pounds, respectively. Parkesburg won the inaugural drive last year, leading the way with 2,141 pounds, while Atglen and Christiana tallied 1,859 and 1,654 pounds, respectively. Atglen got creative with its effort this year. Each year, the borough receives tickets from the Lancaster Stormers to use however it pleases. This year, the borough ran a promotion where bringing in five nonperishable food items granted residents two tickets to the team’s Aug. 8 game against the High Point Rockers. Also, if you donated food at the borough hall, Atglen entered you into a drawing

Blake is not the only new administrator in the district. Angela Regrut is the new principal of Octorara Primary Learning Center; Blake spoke very highly of her. “I’m super excited to get a chance to work with her,” Blake said. “The few times I’ve had a chance to interact with her, we’ve hit it off, and I think we both have a lot of that same positive energy and really wanting what’s best for learners, especially at the K-5 level.”

Blake said that he has had one major event in every year that he has been an administrator, including the birth of his two children and a medical scare. “All of those things I think allowed me to grow in leadership, especially being a parent,” he said. “I feel that really allowed my lens to really grow as well as connect with where families were coming from. Prior to being a parent, I think I tried to do it, but I didn’t fully understand until I got a chance to experience that.” Last month, Blake penned a letter to the Octorara community, promising to be deeply committed to every

to win various merchandise left over from the borough’s 150th anniversary celebration. “We were trying to entice people to be a little bit more generous in donating,” Grossman said. “Christiana actually offered a bunch of things too. ... They offered Rita’s gift cards and popcorn.” This year, Christiana got off to a slow start but managed to gather nearly 2,000 pounds of food in the final two weeks of the drive, vaulting into second place. Atglen led early, but Parkesburg overtook Atglen for the majority of the drive. The Stormers promotion helped Atglen dash to the finish line. New for this year’s drive, Atglen will be the first formal recipient of the drive’s travelling trophy. Currently sitting in Christiana borough hall, the trophy will be formally presented to Atglen at the borough’s next council meeting in September. The drive started last year as Brade’s brainchild. After garnering support from Parkesburg Borough, she went to parks and recreation meetings in both Atglen and Christiana to convince borough leadership to support the drive. The battle leaders stressed that support for the OAFC needs to continue throughout the fall and winter months. For more information about the cupboard, located at 714 Main St., Parkesburg, visit www.octfood.com/ donations or call 610-857-4000. “It’s fun to have a little competition, but knowing that the real winner is the food bank is the highlight of the whole mission,” Grossman said. “It’s just great to be able to fill the shelves at the food bank during a time of need.”
